I tried your patch with 2.1.82. When I did "make menuconfig" I got a
new warning:
help.c:36: warning: `start_off' might be used uninitialized in this
function
I made this change, and the warning went away:
--- help.c.orig Tue Jan 27 22:52:56 1998
+++ help.c Tue Jan 27 23:03:45 1998

I played a bit with "make config" and "make menuconfig" and found an
anomaly: the help for CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL disappeared.
I also noticed two snall problems which are also present in the stock
kernel (and may be beyond the scope of your patch):
--with ARCH = i386, help is available for CONFIG_M386 and the other CPUs,
but "make config" doesn't show a question mark as an option, which
elsewhere indicates that help is available.
--no help for CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT.
Otherwise, everything seemed to work.
